Lyrics:
Verse A1 Lying awake Lately get the feeling that my hands are tied High are the stakes House is underwater bank accounts are dry Verse B1 I wonder about your dealings with the Federal Reserve You profit from our losses, you’ve got some kind of nerve And when they come a knocking you just throw them a curve Pre-Chorus 1 Lavish cars and all those fancy tricks up your sleeve Laying in the shadows only yourself to please Chorus 1 Come out of hiding, Mr. Bowtie We all know You don’t have the balls to show your face Come out of hiding, Mr. Bowtie You’ve got the Midas touch And no one’s got the power to put you in your place Verse B2 (short) All the women all the children caught in this mess A horde of teaming angry men screaming protest Pre-Chorus 2 (slightly different) Cover ups and half-truths when you talk to the press Shylock on a yacht extracting your pound of flesh Chorus 2 Come out of hiding, Mr. Bowtie We all know You don’t have the balls to show your face Come and untie, Mr. Bowtie You’ve got the power Now be a proper member of the human race Verse A2 Mirrors and smoke Does anybody ever call a spade a spade It’s a cruel kind of joke If everyone could see just how your money’s made Verse B3 Crass, convoluted version of how our assets went south But you like Crassus deserve Persian gold in the mouth Pre-Chorus 3 Like Trojans in wooden horse you look belly-up The fox is in the henhouse now he’s taking his cut Chorus 3 Come out of hiding, Mr. Bowtie Our electorate has Your fingers on their throats and here’s a chilling thought With your market timing, Mr. Bowtie The money’s disappeared It’s in the coffers now of your affiliate (Instrumental/solo 1) Chorus 4 Come out of hiding, Mr. Bowtie We all know You’ve got stranglehold on our economy Come and untie me, Mr. Bowtie Our money’s into the hands Of your offshore subsidiary (Instrumental/solo 2) Verse B4 I wonder about your dealings with the Federal Reserve You profit from our losses, you’ve got some kind of nerve And when they come a knocking you just throw them a curve Quote “We bring from the mountain A tendril fresh-cut to the palace A wonderful prey” Ending Come out of hiding, Mr. Bowtie Not law abiding, Mr. Bowtie Astute market timing, Mr. Bowtie No government finding, Mr. Bowtie (Instrumental ending)
